The Stunning Statistical Fraud Behind The Global Warming Scare

Global Warming: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration may have a boring name, but it has a very important job
What do we mean by fraudulent? How about this: NOAA has made repeated "adjustments" to its data, for the presumed scientific reason of making the data sets more accurate.
Nothing wrong with that. Except, all their changes point to one thing — lowering previously measured temperatures to show cooler weather in the past, and raising more recent temperatures to show warming in the recent present.
This creates a data illusion of ever-rising temperatures to match the increase in CO2 in the Earth's atmosphere since the mid-1800s, which global warming advocates say is a cause-and-effect relationship. The more CO2, the more warming.
b: It measures U.S. temperatures. Unfortunately, it seems to be a captive of the global warming religion. Its data are fraudulent.

(Inside Science) -- Last weekend, John Bates, a climate scientist who recently retired from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, accused his former colleagues of "flagrant manipulation of scientific integrity guidelines."

Whozat, where you find denial of science, first you find a conspiracy theory to justify it.

i don't think the words of a disgruntled ex-NOAA staffer invalidates the work of the agency. Were you to read why the agency revises its datasets, you could only conclude that's reasonable.

but in the time honoured tradition of the denier of anthropogenic climate change, cherry picking and anecdotes are very much part of the flimsy foundation of denial.

the cherry picking of course extends to met agencies. To support his opinion, Whozat says today that NOAA meteorologists bad and are conspiring to dodge up their numbers, Qld govt meteorologists good. This of course is subject to change without notice.

Whozat, NOAA said in its November global climate report last week that for the eighth consecutive month, global ocean surface temperatures set a record high.

if your personal beliefs deny what is objectively true about the world, as per Neil,deGrasse Tyson's quote below, then they're more accurately called personal delusions.

welcome to denial of anthropogenic climate change, probably Australia's most popular pet pseudoscience these days. And it still doesn't have a leg to stand on.
